Lucid Explanation of Pulmonary Medicine
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
I found the book enjoyable, even though I have been a practicing physician for more than 25 years and have been teaching internal medicine for almost 20 years. Before my purchase, I wanted a book that reviewed key principles of pulmonary diorders, which I could use as framework to organize disparate pulmonary diseases. The book meets that objective. Aimed at medical students, it is cearly written, making comprehension easy. It emphasizes principles, allowing the reader to build his or her knowledge on a solid foundation. I found it easy to use the principles to classify various pulmonary diseases, making them easy to understand and recall. The notes or summaries at the margins afford both a quick preview and review of the salient points in each chapter. I believe the book can be enhanced by adding three or four clinical cases at the end of each chapter to give the reader an opportunity to apply his or her knowledge.
Phenomenal book

I used this book for my second year pulmonary pathophysiology course and I have not been able to find another text written as well. The chapters are organized into easy to understand chapters that are not too long but the details in the text are definitely more than sufficient. I love the side notes in the margins of the text as little reminders of what is important and the discussions about PFTs in the end and the intro normal physiology allowed me to get an amazing grasp of the material.
Good text

It arrived qiuck in the time of X'mas season! Since Canada is so close to US, I think it is possible to charge the same amount for delivery. This book is a brank new one. The text content is fit for me to get a common idea of what the pulmonary diseases are.
